RE: English Setter or German Shorthair?
I own a Pointing Lab, BUT
If I was only going to hunt Upland, I'd go with a traditional Pointing Breed that is known to be a "natural retriever".
However if I was going to hunt both Upland and Waterfowl like I do(especially in cold water) --and you want a dog that pointsand retrieves well on both landand water (especially big or cold water), you have 2 choices.
Either a GWP or a PL.
